[SOLVED] is this asus gtx 750 ti real of fake?

[otoemeraldx]

so i was looking for a refurbished gtx 750 ti on ebay and i came across this one for 69.99
https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-GTX-750-Ti-GTX750TI-OC-2GD-2GB-MINT/163470479740
the seller is called technetgoods(technetgoodz) they have a very convincing description but they only have 3 feedback ratings and all of them are positive, they are a long time member of ebay though from 2004 and they also only accept paypal that leads me thinking to that they arent scamming me.
anyway about this gtx 750 ti they say it has a core clock of 1124 mhz and boost clock of 1202mhz though i googled this model(GTX750TI-OC-2GD5)
and i found on asus's website(https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/GTX750TIOC2GD5/specifications/) that it has a base clock of only 1072 mhz and a boost clock of only 1150mhz also the outputs are different as i see.
is this gtx 750 ti real or fake?

Maybe they got the info wrong, I would be careful into buying things from people like them without proper info or decent reviews. Like my sis said you don’t know it could be one of them who could’ve made those reviews and made it look legit. Plus why would you want a 750ti a gtx 1050 would be a better deal?

if you want the card i say go for it... worst thing that can happen is when you receive it and its not the right card or its broken you can return it and get your money back..

I suggest you to buy a gtx 1050, yes it does cost a lil bit more but you have something better. Or you could look for a AMD card like a RX 570-560-550

gtx 1050 ti is 140$ and my budget is only 80$

For around $80, you can order a GTX960 2GB variant from AliExpress with free shipping all across the globe, which is comparable to GTX1050 Vanilla 2GB, albeit a bit power hungry.

These so called 'refurbished' GPUs on ebay are basically bought for cheap from AliExpress and then resold at a profit.

Sure there are scammers on AliExpress, but you'll be fine as long as you check the ratings of the seller, read reviews and use common sense. If something is too good to be true, it probably is.
